    Ke Bineng was named Lord Xianbei, and was granted the title of King of Wei by the Jin State, commanding the Xianbei tribes outside the Great Wall. However, in fact, the so-called Xianbei Kingdom was just a tribal alliance, and Ke Bineng did not control all the Xianbei tribes.  Have absolute control.  Literature Museum

    Just like the two major tribes of Murong Xianbei in the east and Tuoba Xianbei in the west, they chose to respect Ke Bineng as the Xianbei master because of Ke Bineng's strong military ability and could not defeat the Xiaozhong tribe in several battles.  , regard him as the co-owner.

    The foundation of this alliance-style rule is quite unstable. Just like last year, Murong Xianbei in the east, instigated by the Chu State, announced that he would break away from Kebineng's rule, and also took the opportunity to seize the Xianbei tribe that originally belonged to the small species.  part of the pasture.

    Now that Kebi Neng is captured, I am afraid that the Xianbei Kingdom will immediately fall into disintegration and the various tribes will compete for supremacy.

    A small tribe that has lost its leader will inevitably become disintegrated and be annexed by other tribes.

    Except for the Souchong tribe, the strongest one is the Tuoba tribe. In this way, the Tuoba tribe is the most capable of unifying Xianbei.

    But this kind of Tuoba tribe's rule is not comparable to Kebineng's alliance-style rule, but the real annexation of the two major Xianbei in the West and Central China, all under the actual unification of the Tuoba tribe.

    Once the Tuoba Tribe unifies the central and western Xianbei, its strength will inevitably increase greatly, and then annexing the Murong Tribe will be a piece of cake. At that time, the entire Xianbei tribe will be unified as never before.

    A truly unified Xianbei country is obviously not what Yan Liang wants to see. Xianbei, which is divided and fighting each other endlessly, is most beneficial to the Chu country.

    "It would be best if the Xianbei people are fighting endlessly and have no time to take care of the Jin State. Yan Liang can calmly destroy the Jin State, and then free up his hands to deal with the Xianbei barbarians who are killing each other.

    "Your Majesty might as well keep Ke Bineng alive. When the Tuoba tribe's ambitions are revealed and they launch an attack on the Xiaozhong tribe, Your Majesty will release Ke Bineng. At that time, Ke Bineng will have to lead the Xiaozhong tribe and follow Tuoba tribe.  With the Bu tribe fighting for blood and the internal strife in Xianbei, there is no time left to help Sima Yi. "

    Xu Shu smiled slightly and presented his strategy.

    Yan Liang nodded.  Xu Shu's plan was exactly the same as what he had in mind, and both the monarch and his ministers thought of it together.

    "Well, what Yuan Zhi said is absolutely true. Then I will leave Ke Bineng alive first. After I deal with Sima Yi, I will go and overthrow the Xianbei tribes."

    The strategy was decided, so Yan Liang spared Ke Bineng's life and kept him under strict supervision. When Xianbei's internal strife broke out, he would be released and he would be released to make Xianbei's internal strife as chaotic as possible.

    Jiexiu.

    In the camp.  Sima Yi rode his horse slowly and inspected the camps.

    Recently, rumors have been circulating among the Jin army that the Chu army has reached Jinyang City.  Jinyang City is in danger.

    It was this rumor that shook the morale of the Jin army. Rumors spread everywhere and the soldiers were in panic.

    In order to deal with this unfavorable situation.  Sima Yi had no choice but to go out in person and inspect the camps.  Use his confidence to dispel rumors.

    Sima Yi declared that he had dispatched the strongest Xianbei cavalry. With such elite foreign cavalry, the Chu army without cavalry would be defeated.

    After some hard work, Sima Yi successfully dispelled the rumors and stabilized people's hearts. The Jin army finally regained its calm.

    "At this time, Ke Bi Neng has probably repelled the Chu army. Even Yan Liang would not have been able to defeat the Xianbei cavalry without cavalry and crossbows"

    While riding the horse, Sima Yi was thinking in his mind, and a calm sneer gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

    Just one day ago, Sima Yi received information from Wang Ji, saying that he and Ke Bineng had conducted detailed reconnaissance and found that there were no cavalry in the Chu army, let alone a large number of repeated crossbows.

    It was this piece of information that finally made Sima Yi feel relieved.

    As the saying goes, a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Sima Yi believed that even though Yan Liang was unparalleled in cunning, he could not defeat Ke Bineng's Xianbei cavalry with only infantry.

    Unless Yan Liang is really as rumored, he is not a human being, but a devil.

    Sima Yi studied sages and did not believe in ghosts and gods. Of course he knew that the rumors that Yan Liang was a devil were just the fear of those ignorant and untouchable people. Where could there be a devil in this world?

    "If we can defeat the Yan thief this time, we must build the cities in Shangdang County well. We must build them to the point where even Yan Liang's gunpowder and ingenious things cannot blow up the city"

    While weighing his thoughts, Sima Yi finished his inspection and returned to the imperial tent.

    Jia Kui and other civil and military officials also followed.

      Just as Sima Yi was about to take a sip of wine to relieve his fatigue, a sergeant hurried in and handed over an urgent report with both hands.

    "Your Majesty, General Wang has sent an urgent report. Kebineng has been severely defeated by the Chu army's gunpowder explosion. The Xianbei army has been completely defeated. General Wang can no longer defend Yangyi and has to withdraw to Jinyang. I beg your Majesty to send troops as soon as possible."  save!"

    For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and all the Jin kings and ministers in the imperial tent froze in a moment of astonishment.

    The eyes that stared into Dou Da were not only filled with horror, but also with disbelief.

    "How is it possible? The gunpowder is enough to blow up the city. How can it also hit the galloping cavalry? This is impossible!" Jia Kui screamed, expressing everyone's doubts.

    With a look of astonishment on his face, Sima Yi snatched the urgent report, tremblingly opened it, and scanned it carefully.

    Wang Ji described in the emergency report that the Chu army had buried gunpowder in the ground beforehand, luring Ke Bineng to lead the cavalry into the burial site, and then ignited it with rockets, so that it could cause extensive damage and kill the Xianbei cavalry.

    After reading this detailed description, Sima Yi suddenly realized.

    "Not only did this Yan thief create an incredible artifact like gunpowder, but he was also able to predict the enemy's opportunity. He buried the gunpowder early in the morning and then tricked Kebi into taking the bait. How could he think of so many steps in advance?  , This guy¡¯s intelligence is so unfathomable, how could there be such a person in the world"

    Sima Yi held the bad news with trembling hands, his face full of shock and panic. At this time, he was completely shocked by Yan Liang's methods and somewhat lost his sense of proportion.

    "Once Yangyi is lost, the Chu army can march straight in and enter the Meridian Basin without any hindrance. The city of Jinyang is in danger. Your Majesty, we can no longer hesitate. Please return to Jinyang quickly to protect Jinyang." Jia Kui  He urged nervously.

    Sima Yi felt another hammer in his heart, his whole body swayed, and there were signs of instability on his feet.

    "But if we return to defend Jinyang, what will Jiexiu do? There are more than 100,000 Chu troops directly south." Hu Zun frowned and said in panic.

    Sima Yi¡¯s face was pale, his expression was distorted, and his expression was extremely difficult.

    If he doesn¡¯t return to the army, Jinyang will be doomed. If he does, Jiexiu may not be able to hold on. The two sides are in danger, leaving Sima Yi with a real choice.

    "Your Majesty, Jiexiu Pass is dangerous, and we can resist the Chu army for a while. If Jinyang is lost, everything will be over." Jia Kui pointed out the key point.

    Sima Yi was shaken, and the hesitation in his heart was instantly shattered by Jia Kui's words.

    "That's right, Jinyang must not be lost, I must return to save the capital!" Sima Yi made up his mind as soon as he struck the case.

    Jinyang is so important. Most of the wealth, most of the population, and arable land in Bingzhou are concentrated in Taiyuan County, to which Jinyang City belongs.

    If Jinyang falls to the Chu army and the hearts of the Jin people collapse, Sima Yi will have no choice but to retreat to Daijun and Yanmenjun to the north to resist.

    However, although the terrain in the northern Shanxi counties is difficult, the population is sparse and the land is barren. Self-sufficiency is a problem every year, let alone feeding Sima Yi and his tens of thousands of defeated troops, let alone using it as a base for future counterattacks.  .

    The loss of Jinyang means the end of Jin State and the countdown has begun.

    No matter what, even if Jiexiu is not saved, Sima Yi still has to save Jinyang.

    On the same day, Sima Yi led 40,000 infantry and cavalry and hurried towards Jinyang. As for Jiexiu, only Hu Zun and less than 10,000 soldiers and horses were left to defend him.

    Halfway through, Jia Kui gave Sima Yi another idea, asking him to order all the people and supplies east of Jinyang to be moved to the north.

    Jia Kui thought that even if the Chu army captured Yangyi, the problem of food and grass supply would still be insurmountable. They only needed to implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, so that the Chu army could not support the war with war and could obtain food locally. In this way, the Chu army  Even if they enter the Bingzhong Basin, they will soon retreat due to lack of food.

    Sima Yi was very resourceful and of course he adopted Jia Kui's plan without hesitation. Before he arrived in Jinyang, he sent out his decree with his fast horse.

    However, when Sima Fengchen rushed back to Jinyang, he was disappointed.

    The scouts reported back information that Yan Liang had garrisoned troops in Yangyi. He divided his troops and entered Taiyuan County first, attacked Yuci and other counties, and robbed grain and grass supplies on the spot for military needs.

    Obviously, Yan Liang had long expected that Sima Yi would implement the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, so after capturing Yangyi, he was not in a hurry to enter Jinyang, but first divided his troops to search for grain and grass for military needs.

    Taiyuan County is the richest county in Bingzhou. Its counties have not experienced war for more than ten years, and its wealth level is comparable to that of?Those formerly wealthy counties.

    Take Yuci County as an example. The grain and grass collected by Zhongkufu in this county alone was enough to support an army of tens of thousands for four to five months. However, it was looted by the Chu army first. It was undoubtedly to help Chu.  The army solved a big problem.

    Sima Yi, who originally had some confidence, was even more shocked now. When he returned to Jinyang, he suddenly became anxious and depressed.

    "Why is Your Majesty so anxious?" A woman's voice came from the hall.

    Sima Yi looked back and saw his queen, Zhang Chunhua, walking into the royal study at some point.

    "The Yan thieves have looted grain and grass from various counties, and the supply problem has been alleviated. Can I not have a headache?" Sima Yi sighed.

    But Zhang Chunhua said calmly: "Even if the Yan thieves plundered various counties, the food and grass they looted could only last for a few months at most. Our Jinyang City is as solid as a rock, and the food and grass in the city can last for several years. Your Majesty used the entire army to defend the capital, and  Why fear the beauty thief?¡±

    "Queen, you don't know that Yan Thief has somehow obtained a sharp weapon called gunpowder. He can easily blow up any solid city. How can Jinyang City be defended if he has this magical weapon?"  Stay." Sima Yi shook his head again and sighed.

    At this time, instead of being surprised, Zhang Chunhua smiled, with some disdain.
